[Okay, so the last time she was on-air, it was depressing as hell. But now? After reassurances from so many people? Elicia just can't let her mama down. She can be sad, yes—lots of people said it was okay to cry or be sad when you really are. But after that, she just had to make sure that Gracia would be up-to-speed whenever she did come back. That said, she now has (must to many people's dismay, probably) a pink camera with flowers on it hanging around her neck.

If she knows you and you happen to be passing by the school or her apartment, she may just jump out and take a picture of you! >8^D

If she knows you, be prepared. She will get you. Do not doubt her. Because she is a wonderful photographer like that.

CR who knows her papa well enough for Hughes to trust them with his daughter (such a small list, sob)? Be prepared for a visit sooner or later this week! She is totally visiting everyone and just enjoying the hell out of company—it keeps her occupied, and the sting of her mother's absence is far easier to ignore among friends. Winry? Let's have a sleepover. A nice, girly sleepover, with hair products and scary stories and sugar. Nami, she wants to come over for a tea party. Or maybe a chocolate milk party. WHAT SAY YOU?

And then when that's all said and done, it'll be time for the usual video post:]

Hi, guys! I hope everyone's feeling good today!

I got a big question, 'cause I've been thinking a lot and I reaaally wanna know! What's a really happy day you had here in Luceti? A really happy day where you were just real, real happy! One you won't never ever forget!

[...one more little question. For now.]

O-oh... and, um... I was wondering—where are the pictures on movies? How does a funny disc have sound and pictures on it...?

Why's that?


... Is it 'cause he's silly, sometimes?

[simplestgift]

Nonono, that's not it at all. I think you'll better understand when you're older, but for now, just remember that Uncle Jack counts more as one of the children than as an adult.

[asobouyo]

What? Reeeally?

...



Is it 'cause he didn't go to school, Mr. Archie?

[Now, how on Earth did the girl learn his name? Well...he supposes it's on the journals somewhere. After a moment of surprise, he clears his throat. Well. Now he can't troll the girl anonymously.]

Yes, little Boots. He didn't go to school. I suppose girls go to school where you come from, don't they?

[asobouyo]

[... Yeah, we'll just say Elicia's investigative like her father. A-ahaha... ha... V_V;;]

Mhm! We all go to kindergarten when we're five!! I just started school.

[simplestgift]

Are girls educated in the same way as boys? [He's genuinely curious.]

[asobouyo]

Mmhm! We sit with the boys and learn with them, and we all play together at recess!

[Shockingly, females are pretty damn equal in the magical world of FMA. Just ask Hawkeye and Olivier.]

[simplestgift]

[Kennedy was closer to his sister than either of his brothers, so he's not exactly opposed to this idea, but he'd like to know more about what Elicia's world is like as a result of this equal treatment. Asking a five-year-old doesn't seem like the best way to do that.]

That's good. I'll bet you're smarter than any of the boys at your school, aren't you?

[asobouyo]

Oh, I dunno! I think we were all really smart! 'Cause everyone's smart in different ways, right?

[simplestgift]

What on earth makes you think that?

[asobouyo]

Everyone's smart at something, right? Even if I'm not good at math, I'm good at reading! And even if someone's bad at school, they can be smart with cooking or drawing! Right?

[simplestgift]

Er...right, of course. [He won't argue that some sorts of intelligence are more important than others. She's five.]
